* YouAnsweredYourOwnQuestion: Rosa openly admits she has no idea why Lohank wouldn't just admit to his annoying habits... in such a way that makes it abundantly clear why he might be wary of admitting to Rosa that he does things that might annoy her:
-->'''Boyle:''' Why don't you just ask him to stop shaving at his desk?\\
'''Rosa:''' He denies even doing it; I don't know why. Next time I catch him shaving, I'm gonna punch him so hard in the mouth, ''he bites his own heart''.\\
'''Boyle:''' ... Could that be why he denies doing it?\\
'''Rosa:''' ''[as if this is a revelation]'' Oh yeah, you could be right, yeah.

'''''The Apartment''''' is the eighteenth episode of ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'''s first season.

The squad is called in on the weekend in order to complete self-evaluation forms for Captain Holt. Amy is beside herself in trying to show Holt, in concrete metrics, that she is an excellent detective.

Rosa is in a fouler mood than usual because Detective Lohank, a member of the weekend squad, shaves at their shared desk and clogs up the keyboard with stubble. Charles teams up with Rosa to give Lohank a taste of his own medicine.

Also, Jake and Gina head out to try and find a way to let Jake keep his late grandmother's apartment after his building voted to go co-op and, failing that, find him a new and affordable place to live.
